Dear All. I would like to have another go at this topic after I have
finished my mid-year marking.
Just a note:
Dewey usefully points to the conceptual connections between ³EXPERIMENT²
and ³EXPERIENCE².
When adolescents start exploring their sexuality and other adult things,
we often say they are ³experimenting².
When adults do the same thing, we say they are ³experiencing².
Experiential design is all about recognising the experimentations that we
all undertake, daily, with things.
So, we are constantly part of experiments - Hitch Hikers Guide to the
Galaxy informs us that we are the rat¹s experiments.
Mostly these days, I am an experiment in Steve Job¹s reality of hiding
buttons and removing functionality.
Cheers
keith
